Ultra structural study of liver mitochondria in control and experimental rats. (A) Mitochondria of control rats showed normal structural design with cristae (C), inner membrane (IM), outer membrane (OM) and it is well preserved. (B) In GSP alone treated rats the liver mitochondria shows well preserved and normal architecture. (C) Mitochondria isolated from the liver of rat treated with Cd shows swollen mitochondria and disrupted cristae with vacuolation. (D) Pre-treatment of GSP to Cd intoxicated rats show mild swollen and vacuolated liver mitochondria with mild separated cristae when compared with Cd alone treated rats. (15000×).
